Best Of

The nodes itself arent the biggest problem, their stats are the real deal, our attack doesn't scales up enough to deal a good chunk of damage, if you're going to use 7* r1 it will feel like things are really slow and you can'tlet your champ get hit, never, cause they kill you in one combo.

Damage through block, even ifyou parry eats your health bar away.

Mission 1 have a 1m health

this new format is so confusing. We said we wanted to spend less time on EQ and we wanted quests that were more simple. I was on board with the idea of adaptive rewards but this EQ is the worst in this game’s history. I don’t understand why classic fights are already 800k health and so much attack. Then on top of it, elder is just absurd. It’s crucible style with just as much health and attack but the choice nodes don’t heal you. So not only are we spending more time on EQ (opposite of what we wanted) now it’s an item sink too. This is such a massive L and I’m just skipping EQ altogether. Get it together Kabam.

this change to EQ is not good, 800k health pools, very unforgiving. Champs dont get full health when going to a new fight like in crucible, i have no desire to do it. Kabam what is your malfunction? Stop changing things if we wanted hard content we can always do long form content. This reminds me of the time you guys nerfed SW and DS, you almost lost your player base. I give you A for trying but its time to call it and change it back or atleast tone it down considerably!

the change for classic difficulty is whatever.

It’s elder difficulty that really bites into your resources, only 1 champ allowed, pick a different one every fight, but no healing.

Meanwhile your dealing with champs that can chip away at you even with perfect parries.

You won’t make it through without potions or revives, which I usually save those for harder/longer content like necro.

lame update.

Absolute worst change ever to EQ. Had started playing this game as a stress buster from work 5 years ago. The game has become the biggest stress in life now. Don’t think I can keep up.

Thanks kabam, after 10 years I'm deleting the app. ✌️

I don't want to be an excessively negative commenter so I've largely refrained commenting on this. I'm usually the one joking around, but let me be serious for a second since we're on the topic and they don't seem to care about it anyway:

I feel like the forum redesign perfectly sums up the new direction Kabam are taking with this game, and its the reason why many, including me, feel alienated by recent decisions and feel disconnected from the community of days past. The new forum is like a unilateral announcement page (if they even announce it here), it allows no reactions to new Kabam announcements, and voicing opinions will be done through our own discussions, which quickly get drowned out by other discussions.

Not a personal dig, but Mike and Dork haven't been convincing and in tune with the general community at large. Mike does seem to communicate more with the ccp and other content creators (as a former content creator himself, I guess that tracks). But all I've seen from him here is the occasional snark and the rare explanation/ addressing issues.

Content creators seem to be getting more benefits: They get access to a more direct line of communication to Kabam, the new CCP code revenue, general youtube revenue, the beta testing grounds map for practicing, access to new champs and rank ups, the new prestige system which rewards higher spenders, more sales, and the list goes on.

It's looking like Kabam know the game isn't attracting and retaining as many newer players, so they've pivoted to trying to please and milk the remaining contingent of content creators and whales that make them the most money. From a business point of view, it might be the best direction for them. But as a player not part of that circle, I am getting brushed off. If it were not for the friends I have in-game who I talk to everyday and play with, I'd have quit already.

He's one of the oldest champs in game, and older champs generally have lower ratings.
